I had used an online preparer called "Traders Tax" for tax year 2024 for both Federal and State (Oregon). I live specifically in Portland Oregon, county known as "Multnomah".
I just got a notice from City of Portland Revenue Division concerning my 2024 tax year filings, stating that no returns or payments were received for the regional/county specific:
1 – Metro Supportive Housing Services (SHS) Personal Income Tax (this is a Metro regional tax)
2 – Multnomah County Preschool for All (PFA) Personal Income Tax (this is a Multnomah county tax)
These aren't new taxes and have been around since 2021 at least.
What is the responsibility of the CPA who prepared my state taxes for not having including these? Should they have known, or was the responsibility on me to have given them extra notification? If they bear some of the responsibility, can I request they front some of the interest and penalties?
Please let me know of any clarifications, thanks.
